Take Biotin but from what I have researched it may happen anyway. It does grow back.

One of the reasons why people suffer hair loss is that they do not adhere to the Protein requirements. So make sure that you take the Protein supplements each day.

Oh, thank you for bringing up boredom. I have started a room in the house where I'll hangout for recovery. I had a C-section with a very slow recovery. I'm not going to get caught in that situation again. Must plan what to do while I "hang out" because I get bored very easily. There is only so much TV I'll be able to watch in a day, right?

Hey ladies, how is it going? I would love to know how you are doing. My legs looked thinner to me already. And my clothes are already loose. It's only been 1.5 weeks. Amazed.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
